Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the Company has prepared a 15 month cash flow forecast and the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “On 17 July 2024, Pernod Ricard announced the sale of its strategic international wine business to Australia Wine Holdco Limited, which concluded in Spring 2025 but with distribution continuing until the end of August 2025.”
• “On 26th June 2025, an ordinary dividend of £56,263,000 was paid (2024: £nil).”
• “As the Company's distribution and marketing activities relate solely to the United Kingdom, the direct financial impact of the ongoing war in Middle East as a result of suspended sales or reduced trade levels is not anticipated to be material to the Company's results.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
